Installing bzrtools1.3 for Hardy from the bzr PPA causes a pycentral traceback

[Julian Edwards]

Using the bzr team PPA to install bzrtools 1.3 on Hardy, I get this:

Preparing to replace bzrtools 1.2.0-1ubuntu3 (using .../bzrtools_1.3.0-1~bazaar1~hardy1_all.deb) ...

This happens for the version from main, too.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

It happens only for upgrades, not new installations. So a workaround is to remove the package and reinstall it.

[Austin Rochford (austinrochford)]

I can confirm the bug and the workaround.

[Hugo Falé (hugo-fale)]

Should I wait for a new update and test or applie the workaround?

I also have the same problem. I'm trying to remove bzrtools and install it again for try to solve this problem.

[Jovin (jovinj)]

I agree with Emilio Monfort.Removing completely and reinstalling bzr-tools doesn't produce the error.
Tested on AMD64

Is there anything we can do to work around this in bzrtools?
